Broken Heart


          In class we read a couple poems which personified emotions and were then asked to do the same. I really liked this assignment and felt like you could stir up a lot of feelings in the poem. Giving life to something which is usually not considered alive was intriguing. It’s not generally something I ponder and caused me to think in a new and different way

Broken Heart
One day Heart was walking along a pathway in the park
Under the trees she stumbled upon Love
Together they strolled day in and day out
Until one day Heart woke to find that Love had been replaced by Hate
Hate had snuck up in the middle of the night
When no one was looking it took a hammer to Love
Heart was now broken, shattered into a million pieces with no glue in sight
With no Love to mend her aching wounds, she would forever lay numb on the cold frozen ground
Despair was now the only one to knock on her door
Where had Beauty gone?
The world and all its light seemed covered in gloom
Without Love, Heart was left to be damaged and broken
Nothing could stop the staining tears streaking down Broken Heart.
